The Torch

Every now and then
appears a torch
a guiding light

This torch inspires
and warms us to the core
its flame encourages

To only a select few
is this power granted
by its light we are nourished

When it appears
our hearts are gladdened
and our souls truly inspired

Long may the flame burn
filling up empty spaces
removing the darkness

Gather close yet even closer
its flame will not burn you
long may you be incandescent
